Liaoning Flying Leopards vs Nanjing Monkey Kings Match Prediction & Analysis
Liaoning hold a clear structural advantage heading into this contest. Their 6-game winning streak, combined with a top-10 standing (9th position, 15-12 record), reflects a team peaking at the right time. At home, their defensive discipline and efficient shooting profile create a controlled environment that limits opponent scoring opportunities.
Nanjing, positioned 18th with a 10-17 record, rely heavily on offensive output to stay competitive. While their recent win highlights scoring potential, their defensive numbers remain a concern. Against a team like Liaoning that shoots efficiently (46.1% FG) and moves the ball well, these defensive gaps are likely to be exposed.
Statistically, this matchup leans toward Liaoning’s efficiency vs Nanjing’s volatility. If Liaoning maintain their defensive structure, they should dictate tempo and shot quality. Nanjing’s best chance lies in high scoring variance, but over four quarters, Liaoning’s balance provides the stronger edge
Liaoning Flying Leopards are currently 9th with a 15-12 record, maintaining a positive win ratio and strong recent momentum (W6). Nanjing Monkey Kings sit 18th with a 10-17 record, struggling for consistency despite occasional offensive bursts. The standings gap reflects differences in defensive stability and overall execution.
Liaoning leads 3-2, but the scoring gap is minimal, with both teams producing nearly identical numbers. In head-to-head matchups, Liaoning averages 96.2 points while Nanjing posts 95.8 points, contributing to a high combined average of 192 points and consistently competitive games.

Teams Preview
Liaoning Flying Leopards Preview
Liaoning come into this matchup after a controlled 97-86 win over Guangzhou, extending their winning streak to six games. Their recent form reflects a well-balanced structure, combining efficient scoring with disciplined defense. In that victory, Jiwei Zhao led the scoring with 23 points, while Shouqi Yan added 13 points.
Hao Fu, Tyler Harvey, and Wang Lanchan each contributed 12 points, with Dez Wells adding 9 and Eric Moreland contributing 6 points, highlighting strong scoring distribution across the lineup. The team shot 55% from the field and 53% from three-point range, underlining their offensive precision.
Defensively, Liaoning allow 82.6 points per game, making them one of the more structured defensive units in this matchup. In their last game, they also recorded 40 rebounds and 24 assists, reflecting strong control on both ends of the floor.
Their assist numbers (19.8 per game) and 1.8 assist-to-turnover ratio indicate strong ball movement and decision-making. A key strength lies in their shot selection and perimeter efficiency, while their ability to control tempo limits opponent scoring runs. Overall, they maintain a disciplined and well-organized system.
Across their last 10 matches, Liaoning hold a 7-3 record, including a current 6-game winning streak. This run highlights consistent form on both ends of the floor, with improved defensive control and efficient scoring. Their recent momentum reinforces their stability and positions them strongly heading into this matchup.
Nanjing Monkey Kings Preview
Nanjing enter this matchup after a 101-95 win over Zhejiang Golden Bulls, showcasing their offensive capability. In that game, Guo Haowen led the scoring with 28 points, while Brady Manek added 21 points and Jaylen Hans contributed 16 points.
Additional support came from Zhu Mingzhen and Parker Jackson-Cartwright, who each scored 8 points, reflecting a reasonably balanced scoring distribution. The team shot 52% from the field and were highly efficient from the free-throw line (89%), underlining strong scoring execution.
However, their overall profile remains offensively tilted. Nanjing average 90.3 points per game, but concede 95.5, indicating a consistent defensive weakness. Their reliance on perimeter shooting (10.8 threes per game at 34.1%) creates volatility — when shots fall, they remain competitive, but defensive lapses frequently negate that advantage. Their assist-to-turnover ratio (1.5) further highlights comparatively lower control and structure against more disciplined opponents.
Across their last 10 matches, Nanjing Monkey Kings hold a 5-5 record. This perfectly reflects their inconsistency, with alternating wins and losses throughout the stretch. While their offensive output remains capable of producing strong performances, their inability to maintain defensive stability continues to be a key concern heading into this matchup.
